In the text of RE2020 concerning ceiling fans [i]<\/a><\/span>, it is stated that the fan model used \u2018is valid for ceiling heights of less than 3m\u2019.<\/h4>\n

The Order of 6 April 2022<\/a> on the RE2020 specifies two points in Article 4, paragraph VII:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ceiling fans that can be taken into account are fans fixed to the building.<\/li>\n
  2. They are installed in such a way as not to present a danger to the occupants.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This means that only ceiling fans are taken into account<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Overseas, ceiling fans have been around for many years, and there is a wealth of feedback.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Secondly, of course, the safety of the occupants must be ensured. Compliance with the international standard NF EN CEI 60335-2-80 (see below) is the benchmark in this respect.<\/p>\n

    Several regulations describe safety height rules for ceiling fans.<\/strong> For example, in the current application sheet for the DOM RTAA<\/a><\/span>, we can read the following recommendation [ii]<\/a><\/span> :<\/p>\n

    Minimum height under blades in non-RE2020 regulations<\/h2>\n

    When fans are installed under ceilings, a minimum height under the blades must be defined for safety reasons.<\/p>\n

    The minimum height between the finished floor and the fan blades is generally one of the recommendations provided by the manufacturer. This is usually set at 2.30 m if there is no protective device.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”gcid-70ff693f-6f97-4074-be90-9adb196c4afe” header_4_font=”|600|||||||” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-70ff693f-6f97-4074-be90-9adb196c4afe%22:%91%22header_3_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n

    Guadeloupe’s more recent thermal regulations<\/a> (published at the end of 2019) are even more explicit [iii]<\/span><\/a>:<\/p>\n
